01 How It Works

Six axes of health. One unified score.

Existing risk tools are optimized for single diseases. AI models offer predictions but no explanation of why. HexaGene provides multi-system biological insight that clinicians and patients can act on immediately.

Reverse mode engine: biomarkers converge into unified score, decompose into 6 axes

From routine labs to structural biology

Standard bloodwork — albumin, hemoglobin, hs-CRP, HbA1c, eGFR, RDW, uric acid — is mathematically mapped into a single structural stress variable. That variable then decomposes into six independent homeostatic axes, each pointing to a specific clinical action.

No genetic sequencing required. No wearable integration required. The engine runs on data every hospital already has.

+
Structural
Tissue integrity and anabolic reserve.
Albumin · Hemoglobin

Captures frailty and malnutrition risk before clinical thresholds are crossed. Action: nutritional optimization, iron/B12 evaluation.

+
Inflammatory
Chronic immune activation.
hs-CRP · NLR

Captures "inflammaging" — chronic low-grade inflammation accelerating biological aging. Action: anti-inflammatory dietary patterns, weight management.

+
Metabolic
Energy regulation and lipid metabolism.
HbA1c · Triglycerides

Captures insulin resistance trajectory years before diabetes diagnosis. Action: pharmacologic therapy, lifestyle modification.

+
Redox
Cellular stress and oxidative burden.
RDW

Red cell distribution width predicts all-cause mortality independent of anemia. Action: correct nutritional deficiencies, reduce oxidative stressors.

+
Kinetic
Systemic circulation and clearance.
eGFR · Lipid transport

Captures cardio-renal stress — the coupling between cardiac output and kidney filtration. Action: blood pressure optimization, nephroprotective strategies.

+
System Balance
Global load distribution.
Uric Acid

Uric acid is a coupling marker — elevated levels signal cross-system stress that single-disease scores miss entirely. Action: dietary purine moderation.

The Core Principle

Biology as a physical system

A biomarker spike is not an isolated bad number. Biological anomalies redistribute structural load across the entire physiological system — like a suspension bridge with a broken cable. HexaGene measures the resulting stress landscape across the entire structure, not the broken cables.

Bridge analogy: healthy vs stressed structural load distribution

The Engine

See the genome as physics.

Every 6-nucleotide window maps to one of 64 quantum states, partitioned into 21 codewords. Same input, same output — always. Hover the radar, type a sequence, toggle a mutation.

Interactive axis profile

Hover each axis point to see the biomarker values driving the score. The shape of the radar tells the clinical story — which systems are under stress, how severe, and what to do about it.

This patient shows elevated inflammatory and metabolic stress with adequate kinetic clearance — a pattern traditional single-disease scores would miss entirely.

Live sequence reader

Type or paste a DNA sequence. The engine walks it in real time — assigning quantum states and codeword membership to each 6-mer window.

Mutation impact — live

Toggle a single nucleotide change and watch the structural disruption propagate. The score changes because the physics changed — no retraining.
